Do am radio waves have a lower frequency then ultra violet radiation?

Radio waves and ultraviolet waves are the same physical phenomenon.
The difference is that radio waves have a much greater wavelength.
(That's equivalent to saying that they have a much lower frequency.)

Why does light rays travel straight and radio waves vary?
Higher frequency radiation follows straighter lines than lower frequency. This effect starts to become significant with VHF radio (well below microwave and visible light radiation). VHF is used for FM radio and some TV stations.
What has the longest wavelength-light waves x-rays or radio waves?
Radio Waves are in the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum and have wavelengths between several hundred feet (AM Radio) to fractions of an inch (Microwave communications). X-Rays are high energy photons at the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths shorter than visible light, measured in nanometers to picometers. Color wise, Red is the longest visible, while Violet is the shortest wavelength of visible light. There are many graphical charts of the electromagnetic spectrum that show where the various waves fit in relation to each other, these can be found on an internet image search.
What type of frequency and wavelength does radio waves have?
One convenient working definition of 'radio' is: Electromagnetic radiation withfrequency up to 300 GHz / wavelength down to 1 millimeter.'Radio' is our name for the lowest frequency / longest wavelength, so there'sno lower limit on frequency, or upper limit on wavelength.
Are Gamma rays and radio waves both higher frequency than human vision can detect?
No. Visible light is in between those particular forms of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are lower frequency (longer wavelength) than visible light. Gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.
Which has a higher frequencies am radio waves or fm radio waves?
FM radio has the higher frequency which is why it sounds better. AM is a lower frequency but can travel further because the waves bounce off
Are microwaves a type of radio wave?
Microwaves are a frequency of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than radio waves, but has a lower frequency than infrared light.
How does frequency vary different forms of electromagnetic radiation?
We call light electromagnetic radiation with certain frequencies; higher frequencies and we call it Ultra violet, X-rays and gamma radiation. Frequencies lower than light we call infra red, and radio.
Which light has a lower frequency than an infra-red radiation?
Microwaves and radio waves.
Why does light rays travel straight and radio waves vary?
Higher frequency radiation follows straighter lines than lower frequency. This effect starts to become significant with VHF radio (well below microwave and visible light radiation). VHF is used for FM radio and some TV stations.
What kind of radiation does a radar gun use?
Radio frequency electromagnetic radiation.
What type of electromagnetic radiation can be diffracted by a hill?
Radio frequency radiation can be defracted by hills.
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or radio rays?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency then radio waves.
Type of radiation a radio telescope looks at?
Electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range between roughly 0.5 - 100 GHz.Loosely known as "radio".
What has the longest wave length infrared radiation radio wave ultra violet radiation visible light micro waves gamma radiation or x rays?
Radio waves have the longest wavelengths.
What radiation has the smallest frequency?
Radio waves have the lowest frequency, Gamma rays have the smallest wave-length.
Radio wave frequency and microwave radiation are both forms of energy called electromagnetic radiation?
The answer is yes.
Is the radio telescope an instrument which measures radiation?
A radio telescope has two basic components, a large radio antenna and a radio receiver. It is used to detect radio-frequency radiation emitted by objects in space.
